Recording And Editing Features
DVD-VCR Dubbing: You can copy the contents of a DVD onto a VHS tape, or vice versa, using the Dubbing button. Copy-protected DVDs or VHS tapes cannot be copied.
DVD Recording Speeds: The LG 797 Region free HDMI DVD recorder and NTSC VCR COMBO can record DVDs in five preset recording quality modes. The modes and the recording time on a 4.7GB blank DVD include:
XP: Highest quality setting-1 hour recording time
SP: Default quality setting-2 hours recording time
LP: Slightly lower video quality-4 hours recording time
EP: Low video quality-6 hours recording time
MLP: Longest recording time with lowest video quality-11 hours recording time
VHS Recording Speeds: This unit can record onto VHS tape in two speeds: SP (standard play) or SLP (3 times SP). A standard T-120 tape will give you two hours of recording time in SP, and six hours of recording time in SLP.
Instant Timer Recording: Instant Timer Recording allows you to easily make a recording of a preset length without using the program timer. Recording starts after the first press of the Record button, and each subsequent press of the button increases the recording time by 10 minutes on the DVD or 30 minutes on the VCR.
Timer Recording: The Timer Recording function allows you to record up to 16 programs within a period of one month. You can choose a DVD recording speed of XP, SP, LP, EP, MLP, or AT (Auto). If recording on the VCR, you can select a speed of SP, SLP, or AT (Auto). In the AT (Auto) mode, the unit determines how much time is available on the disc or tape, and switches the record mode, if necessary, to completely record the program.
AV1 Timer Recording: When the recorder is connected to an external set-top box, such as a cable box or satellite receiver, you can set the LG 797 Region free HDMI DVD recorder and NTSC VCR COMBO to record the incoming video signal on the AV1 input. You can enter the desired channel on the set-top box when the recording event is programmed, and the recorder will change the channel on the set-top box before the recording begins. Note: The set-top box must remain turned on at all times, and the supplied IR control cable must be used.
Simultaneous Play and Record: You can play a DVD while recording a program on the VCR. You cannot play or record both DVD and VCR at the same time.
Playback During Recording: When using a DVD-RAM disc, you can start playback from the beginning of a title while continuing to record it. You can watch the playback in full screen or as a Picture-in-Picture with what is currently being recorded. When viewing as PIP, you can switch between the PIP window and Main window. Playback cannot be started until at least 30 seconds after recording starts.
Recording From External Inputs: You can record from external components, such as a camcorder or VCR. The recorder has three inputs: AV1 (rear panel), AV2 (front panel) and DV (front panel). You can record onto tape or DVD from the external device.
DVD Editing: Using the Title List menu, you can edit video content. For discs recorded in the VR mode, you can directly edit the original content, or create and edit a playlist. The Playlist doesn't change the original content, but controls how the content is played back.
Finalizing Discs: In order to play DVDs on other players, the disc must be finalized. Finalizing "fixes" the recordings and edits in place so the disc can be played on a regular DVD player or computer with a suitable DVD-ROM drive.
